A young American woman comes face to face with
her destiny in Istanbul in the 1960's and an epic dynasty is born.
When Vivian Kinkaid turns around in her college
classroom and makes eye contact with a man who was once her forbidden childhood
friend, her life is changed forever.
A sweeping saga of family, love, loss and
recovery—The Turkish Delight series begins with a special sort of
magic. Then Madame Eve works her miracles for the Deniz family, but
even she can’t overcome the harsh realities that force this Turkish/American
family all to deal with tragedy when one of their own is ripped from their
close-knit circle.
“The Turks” opens with best-selling classic
romance for the ages. Then ends with a thrilling novella that brings all
the players back together. Set in Istanbul, Las Vegas, and Southern
California, The Turkish Delights series has it all—heat, heart, intrigue and a
deep, family connection that transcends all barriers.

The Diplomat’s Daughter:
When Vivian Kincaid's
eyes meet those of a hunky local at the Turkish university her father forces
her to attend, it only takes her a split second to recognize her childhood
friend. Levent Deniz was the servant boy who taught her to run the streets of
Istanbul years before, giving outlet to her wild streak even as a child.
Now face-to-face once
again as adults, the only thing standing between them and happiness is her
father. The newly appointed Consul General for the United States has other
plans for his only daughter. Ones that do not include a former servant, now
successful entrepreneur and businessman. He will do everything in his power to
keep them apart.
The Diplomat's Daughter
is set in 1960s Istanbul and tells the story of pre-destiny, passion and the rebellious
power of true love.
Turkish Delights (1NightStand)
The fifteen year age
difference between Elle Kensington, expatriate American executive and Emre
Demir, son of Istanbul's most successful businessmen, has not kept them from
becoming fast friends as they toured Istanbul together. But the time has come
for him to return to the U.S. to finish his master's degree, and she has just
been named CEO of the pharmaceutical company that brought her to Turkey in the
first place. Elle adores her adopted country, and is alarmed to find herself
falling in love with the young man who's been her impromptu guide for the last
few months.
She knows they can never
be. She will return home to California within a month, leaving behind all she
loves about the ancient city. In a rare fit of spontaneity, Elle has contracted
with Madame Eve's 1Night Stand dating service, hoping to find a way to forget
the dark, handsome young man who has captured her heart. Little does she know
what awaits her in the ancient recesses of the Ottoman palace turned luxury
hotel under the hands of her one-night stand masseur.
Blue Cruise (1NightStand,
m/m)
Caleb and Tarkan were
an odd couple—men from two different cultures—so in love, they were determined
to overcome any obstacles. But fate had different plans for Tarkan. Shattered
and unable to function a full two years after tragedy strikes, Caleb faces the
hollow shell that is his life.
Adem Broussard is happy
enough, as owner and chef of his restaurant on the Turkish southern coast. But
a tall, American Adonis he saw once, years ago on a Turkish Blue Cruise haunts
his most erotic dreams, and he hopes contracting Madame Eve's 1NightStand
service for an unconventional date will help him forget.
When Caleb caves in to
his friend Elle's insistence that he return to Turkey and exorcise some of the
demons that haunt him, he reluctantly climbs on board a private yacht for a
special 1Night Stand Blue Cruise. There he comes face to face with the man who
remembers him well…and helps him heal.
Tulip Princess
(1NightStand, BDSM)
Lale Deniz was always
prone to wildness. But when her family is ripped apart at the seams, she
becomes more reckless than ever. Desperate to stop her self-destructive slide,
her parents step in and send her to America to live with her brother, Emre.
Just the chance, she thinks, to escape the tragedy suffusing her Istanbul home.
Andreas Michos, Greek
former NFL star, the recently divorced athletic director at UNLV, floats
through life seeking fulfillment. He has reason to doubt his own abilities as a
natural Dom and has given up finding his perfect mate. Until he agrees to a
1Night Stand.
Set against a backdrop of
ancient cultural clashes and Mediterranean family dynamics, Lale and Andreas
meet in Las Vegas at the Castillo resort for their date. But it seems Madame
Eve and destiny will both fail this time, unless Lale and Andreas are willing
to relinquish enough control to discover what happiness can be found inside the
soul of the other. Will stubbornness keep them from connecting, or can they let
go long enough to heal?
Flower Passage (final
novella, m/m/m)
What would you do if
the lover, brother, son, and friend you thought you'd lost forever was returned
to you?
Brutally battered,
emotionally and physically for the past two years, Tarkan Deniz has escaped his
captors. When the Deniz family discovers the shocking truth they rally and do
everything in their power to bring him back safely. But all have been affected
by the tragedy of his loss and must come to terms with the new reality, each in
their own way.
When Happily Ever After
seems like a nightmare...one man can bring healing to all, but will he ever be
the same man again?
Flower Passage is a story
of love lost and regained, even if it takes a slightly different form than
before.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Microbrewery owner, best-selling author, beer blogger and
journalist, mom of three teenagers, and soccer fan, Liz lives in the great
middle west, in a Major College Town.
Years of experience in sales and fund raising, plus an eight-year stint
as an ex-pat trailing spouse plus making her way in a world of men (i.e. the
beer industry) has prepped her for life as erotic romance author. When she isn't sweating inventory and sales
figures for the brewery, she can be found writing, editing or sweating promotional
efforts for her latest publications. Her
ground breaking romance sub genre: “Romance for Real Life” has gained thousands
of fans and followers, interested less in the “HEA” and more in the “WHA”
(“What Happens After?”)
Her beer blog a2beerwench.com is nationally recognized for
its insider yet outsider views on the craft beer industry. Her books are set in
the not-so-common worlds of breweries, on the soccer pitch and in high powered
real estate offices. Don’t ask her for
anything “like” a Budweiser or risk painful injury.
Liz is one of my all time favorite writers. Not because she writes these pretty stories that have everything wrapped up in a bow. But because her stories are about real people who have issues and who still get cranky and yet have and find love worth a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteOh! How have I never heard of these books? Must add them to my wishlist! Yay for Turkish inspired stories!
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring them :-)
ReplyDeleteLiz sounds like she has one heck of a mind blowing series here and plenty of life experience with her own ex-pat history to draw from to really add the reality to her pieces and and give the reader more than their money's worth.
